We’ve heard about Iraq,
terrorism, and security from every side. But there’s one group that we
need to hear from the most, and in 2006 we will. All over America,
veterans are running for Congress as Democrats. They’ve been there,
they know the story, and it’s time to let them speak.



Band of Brothers
is a new political organization formed to assist Democratic veterans
running for elected office. We’ve already identified more than 50 fighting men and women who need our help to challenge the current administration on its failed policies at home and abroad.



They are
all strong, principled citizens who have had enough of the current
direction of our country, and are ready to fight — as Democrats have
always fought — for solutions to the problems of security, health care,
and corporate and political corruption. Some have served in the current
war in Iraq, some have served our country at other times. But each
candidate supported by Band of Brothers must in turn support Our Values .



Separately,
each of these veterans offers hope in one district — but together they
are a new movement. As veterans who have fought for America, they will
fight for us in Congress.
